Agreed. There's definitely a gap in how conclusions are communicated to the public.

It's crazy to me that so much of the general public don't understand that science is just a protocol of observing, recording, testing, and analyzing results.

    Eh, mostly not the scientists' fault but the media sensationalizing the data in secondary and tertiary sources.

    And, as you said, general ignorance of how science works internally. That is a problem with education though, again not the fault of the scientists.
